Your family and Ayase’s has always been close, having been neighbors since forever did nothing but bring you two even closer. Momo was practically your little cousin at that point

Until your family ended up moving out and away. That did nothing to tear the tight nit bond both of your families had with each other though. And you knew Seiko and Momo would always be there, waiting in their warm home, ready to invite you back in

And that’s exactly what they did. After your parents had been in a serious car accident, you were sent with Seiko to watch over you. Your parents needed immediate attention and the thought of whether they would survive or not kept tormenting your mind

Though, in front of the Ayase family, you tried your best to stay jolly. why bother them with your heartbreak?

You caught Seiko stealing a couple of glances, though

Once night came, your heart felt heavy. The room was a tinted a dark blue and was cold, really cold. It didn’t have the same warmth your bed provided, and it wasn’t as comfortable as the bed your parents worked so hard to get you. The feeling of tears started to slowly sting your eyes

Until the door of the room slammed open

Who—?

You felt the sudden collision of a soft body against your own and the familiar scent of cigarettes flood your senses. “It’s cold” Seiko whispered simply, as if she didn’t feel the need to explain why she was intruding into your bed. Her eyes were shut and her hand slowly slid up to rest on your shoulder, pulling you in for a tight hug. She knew you needed someone’s comfort for the night
